I do not know why this specific fact made to the front page or whether if it has something to do with the seige on Gaza right now and American Government being totally pog with it.
It for the same reason why the Holodomor is considered an anti-Ukrainian genocide in particular whereas Kazakh deaths, despite being much worse proportionally, are rarely brought up.
There’s a dividing line here and I can’t qWhite make it out
I guess we know that Russia is officially not white
They’ve had their whiteness pass revoked for a while now
Europe’s never really considered eastern Europeans to be real whites. They’ve always been a bit too Asian for the west and north.
Fun fact: the original English definition of “Europe” excluded western Russia.
The Brits didn’t even know what the Ural hills were until ~1870. When they found out about them, they jumped at the chance to make them define Europe, because they had no other geographic justification (btw these hills are not a plate boundary and do not impede movement, they are basically as nonexistent as hills can be)
There were also multiple British geographers who wanted Britain to be its own continent separate from Europe.
Fuck I never knew the Urals were so low they make the Great Dividing Range, the archetypal “barely mountains” look like the fucking Himalayas.
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING white is fake
not just politics, but geography, taxonomy, etc etc
I’m old enough that the idea of Ukraine being considered Europe soundes utterly ridiculous.

I think it’s a really good example of how whiteness is contextual and can be extended and withdrawn to suit the situations. Slavs being White seemed utterly preposterous to me, that’s just not how racists work, but then the Ukraine war happened and the Ukrainians were immediately race-lifted. And now the Ukrainians all have proud Viking-Aryan heritage as evinced by their definitely not Nazi “ancient heritage” symbols.
Reminds me of the very specific type of person who gets mad when people talk about Roma victims of the Holocaust.
a genocide has to start with holo- or else it’s just sparkling massacre
Wikipedia with the
takehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims
Both the famine in the USSR as well as Nazi extermination of Soviet citizens were genocides
This article’s factual accuracy is disputed. (October 2023)
for Wikipedia editors.On the talk page it says they added it cause they can’t decide if non-Jews count as Holocaust victims lmao. So I guess you guys were right.
I think losurdo said the deaths of Soviet POWs may have reached 5 million so of course wikiHimmler went with the under estimate
why was an American court making a ruling about a Nazi crime against a Soviet city?
Good question, the US is the world police not the world judge!
wild guess: there was a law against making fun of genocides (or similar), someone made fun of Russians dying during the siege of Leningrad, some other guy sues him because of said law. Boom, now a judge has to decide whether it was a genocide or not.
Ukronazis love to never shut the fuck up about muh holodorkmore but never talk about Babyn Yar because their ideological and national heroes were the ones with their fingers on the trigger
Wait, I haven’t heard about this and it’s a little hard to look up. Do you have any further reading?
Here’s an old Soviet film on the topic it’s filled with survivor testimonials and details of the massacre so for anyone who wants to watch it, it’s not for sensitive individuals.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The reality is this, the Nazis won. Not the kinetic war, but the war of their ideals, and it has seaped in to every facet of western white society.
